Kevin Costner is Jonathan Pa Kent?
If the source is correct, Kevin Costner will portray Clark Kent's adoptive human earth father Jonathan "Pa" Kent, the man who finds baby Kal-El and raises him to become the superhero disguised as a mild mannered newspaper reporter.
Kevin Costner will be following in the footsteps of Glenn Ford, who played Pa in the original 1978 big screen version of Superman.
Look for this casting rumor to be confirmed in the next few days.
Man of Steel comes to theaters June 14th, 2013 and stars Henry Cavill, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Julia Ormond. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

I have always loved Kevin Costner in any film he has done i even own some of the films alot of people for some reason dont like such as Waterworld and The Postman i think he has a on screen presence most actors just cant get or have, so this i will defiantly look forward to

I like this choice,he was a powerhouse in the early 90's it sucked seeing him fall off these past few years so i'm all for him coming back to the main screen. If Kevin Bacon can be in a X-Men movie then Kevin Costner can do this!

The Narrator: The Better Man
Not my first choice, but a good one none the less. An unexpected choice, and one that I'm okay with. Now who would be Mama Kent?

Glenn Ford was so damn fatherly. He was amazing in that role.
But I like the thought Cozner (how I refer to him) playing Pa Kent. I hope they age him up a bit with makeup, etc. when Clark gets to his teen years.

This does make perfect sense and your right @knobie09 ..no killing off his character..well I guess Costner is never going to get around to Waterworld 2 then...lol

That makes sense, he is the proper age and has the chops to pull it off. If this is indeed his character than i would say its good casting on the Snyder crew's part.
